[RFE] Equalizing mission VPs

[Tempest-56]

Prerequisites and Pre-Issue Checklist

RFE Details *

This is an improvement to an existing feature

Brief Description *

Currently certain mission types - like Relief Duty or Garrison - have significantly fewer VP-critical scenarios than others and it's possible to go an entire mission with few or even zero VPs being able to be awarded. Meanwhile other types will award VPs like candy.

As the new XP defaults specifically award significant bonuses for completing a mission with 3+ VPs, this makes certain mission types undesirable while others much more rewarding. (More so, the difference is invisible to the average player as there's no indication which ones are superior.) There should probably be some form of check to ensure that any given mission at least provides the player the opportunity to reach the 3 VP threshold.

MekHQ Suite Version *

v0.50.0

This has potentially been resolved by #5230, but we'll need to wait until QA gets their hands on it to be sure.
